Mountain biking... at night with good lights will yield tonnes of fun and deliver fitness too.Or as per Comedian's post with riding for transport... My commute is an hour each way and will probably ride it only twice a week.

I'm about to go out & break every Strava segment heading in a westerly direction & then crawl back against these 50km/hr winds. Should be a real hoot !

If you don't hear from me in 3 hours time I've been blown out to sea.

maybe head west first? then at least you'd deserve the segments...

OH yeh what a goose, I meant easterly direction.

Anyhoo I'm back in one piece after playing dodge the sticks.

Had an unfortunate interruption to my segment attempt, but giving way to loose kids & dumb pedestrians comes before leader board glory in the interests of safety. Almost came to a complete stop just to make sure all the little devils were safe & out of harms way.

Interesting ride all the same pushing out 250+w at 22km/hr on the flat, then leaning over at about a 10 degree angle (off centre) around the next corner to keep it in a straight line.

BBwwwaaaahh I just had a look at the Strava file & took out 3 kom's. If it wasn't for those (law abiding pedestrians on the shared path) I could have claimed a couple more. (I'm not condoning speeding on a shared path BTW.)

good work!

One of those was mine so I got an email.

I had a little nibble back on the way home but the wind had halved kn strength, it was dark, and I was on the 29er. In summary, you'll keep.
